Internet Innovation Alliance Launches 'IIA en Espanol' on Website

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- The Internet Innovation Alliance (IIA) today launched "IIA en Espanol," a section of the website designed to serve as a resource on important broadband and technology-related information for Spanish language communities. The content includes key studies and facts about broadband, developments with IIA Members and Ambassadors from the Hispanic community and news related to the Internet industry, all available in Spanish at http://www.internetinnovation.org/Spanish.

IIA, a broad-based coalition of business and non-profit organizations, aims to ensure that every American has access to broadband Internet and hopes to reach the more than 45 million Spanish-speaking Americans with information about the transformative benefits of broadband.

A blog authored by Rafael A. Fantauzzi, President and CEO of the National Puerto Rican Coalition, addresses the value of the new "IIA en Espanol" initiative and is featured on the new section of the website.

"The IIA's launch of a Spanish language technology hub reflects the coalition's strong commitment to helping every American understand the all-important broadband issue," said Fantauzzi. "Increased awareness about the benefits of this transformative technology is imperative in the Hispanic community. 'IIA en Espanol' allows Spanish-speaking visitors to learn about the opportunities that broadband technology holds for their children and for improving their own daily lives."
